Probably my biggest freakout moment was a few month ago when I saw that Weezer had a 10th anniversary edition of their first album out
Yes! I keep freaking out about things like that.
Like today, I realized that Jerry Cantrell is 38 years old. 38! Jerry Cantrell is 38. But ... but ... but ... he's in his early 20's, and he's got that baby face, and just ... he can't be 38 now!!!!
Um, yeah. Things like that.
This afternoon I suddenly thought of Eddie with "pro-choice" written on his arm. One of those images just sort of burned into my brain I suppose.
I totally know what you mean. That was SUCH a great moment. Like also Eddie jumping into the crowd in the "Evenflow" video, or Layne writhing in the cage in the "Man in the Box" video, or Kurt glowing golden in Nirvana unplugged.... stuff that sticks in your head forever.
I always felt the music and just *stuff* from that moment was so important. It was that important for me.
It really was a fucking awesome moment in history. Looking back, I'm really glad I grew up with that stuff, even if I was too young to fully experience it. You don't see that kind of genuine, honest, powerful, passionate, REAL music reaching the masses anymore the way it did, for a moment, back then. It was special.
